Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

With the rad in the front of the case, have the air going in. Not only does the rad get cool ambient air, but you preserve the normal front-to-back/bottom-to-top airflow inside your case, keeping all the other parts cool too.
Thanks for responding so soon
Also what would cool better: a push n pull config with two 60CFM fans or 1 big high CFM fan that moves say 80cfm? I am trying to find the perfect balance between noise and performance.
Would there be a decent amount of increase in performance?

No easy answer I'm afraid. It depends on the fans, and how their air flow changes with repect to the static backpressure.
Generally though, push-pull will get you a given amount of airflow with a little less noise. Just make sure you use a fan shroud that holds the fans an inch or two from the rad.

Dunno. But, if it isn't made for dual shrouds, modifiy it. It's not too hard to make a shroud: cardboard and tape is easy/ugly, fiberglass and epoxy is tougher/prettier, sheet metal and pop-rivets is hard/cool.
Don't use teflon tape. The threads can chop it up as you screw stuff together, strands of it running through your system would suck. Look for thread-sealant paste, known among plumbers as 'pipe-dope'. Safer, seals better, can be a mess if you ain't careful.
